Our new polyester-based fabric feeds into our sustainability story in the best way possible. Basic Bird fabric is both bluesign approved and also made from recycled content.

These are my favorite Oiselle tights ever. Simple, flattering and so comfortable. 10/10

High means High

These leggings were advertised as high rise, but WOW, did that mean high-rise. I’m 5’4, and the waistband went to about 1” below my bra line on front, touching my bra on my back. It looks comical on me. I would have expected Oiselle to scale the rise so that the smaller sizes have a slightly lower rise, so that the waistband sits at a similar, reasonable level on people of different heights/sizes, but they didn’t. Oiselle missed the mark here.

I really wanted to like them… the color and fabric are beautiful, but there’s no way on earth that I would wear these to run.

They also run slightly big. I am on the upper end of 4’s in Roga shorts, and ordered a 4 in these as well, but they are loose. I won’t be keeping them due to the ridiculously high rise, but if I had, I’d be exchanging them for a 2.

Almost perfect (make them mid-rise)

I was really excited for these tights and almost kept them, but they are really high waisted (I was told the highest O offers) and on my short 5' 2" frame, they just don't work. But I loved everything else about the tights...the fabric, the back pockets, the length, the feel. I love my usual side pockets, but it's nice to have a sleeker option (no phone bulging out my side leg). Some people LOVE high waisted pants, but I much prefer a mid-rise to slightly high rise. Good job design team.

Love these tights!

I love how simple the look is for these tights. No side pockets, big bulky waist pockets, etc. They definitely feel technical enough for running, but I bought them as an everyday layer, since I don't run in tights often. The hidden rear waist pocket is really useful, too - not bulky at all, but enough to tuck a small item in if necessary. The fabric is SO soft!
Fit-wise, they do feel a little snug the first time you put them on, but fit perfectly once they are in place - the high waist makes it feel like they are not going to make it over my hips at first, but they are perfectly stretchy and fit great.
